HP Now Supporting Ubuntu on Its Servers
by Wyatt WalterHP has announced that it will be partnering with Canonical, the commercial backers of Ubuntu, to provide certification and support for Ubuntu on its servers. HP already offers Red Hat and SUSE Enterprise Linux on their servers, but will now be offering support for Ubuntu as well. Ubuntu has been very popular on the desktop but is also making a charge in the datacenter as well. The LTS releases of Ubuntu offer customers a long-term supported Linux operating system without the costs of Red Hat or SUSE. Of course, customers can purchase support from Canonical if they so choose, but they are free to use Ubuntu for, well, free. It has been gaining popularity both in small companies and in large companies with the likes of Wikipedia running Ubuntu exclusively. HP will be offering the OS on its ProLiant product lines which includes the cheap pedestal servers to blade center systems.
